The Music of Hindostan c15.12

c15.12

This is the Poona form of recitation taken down by Haug from the lips of Maratha Brahmans.⁴ Only one form of the svarita, the appoggiatura F E, is here employed. But the noticeable thing is that the *pracaya* (marked P) is the same note as the *udātta*, not as the *anudātta*; if in a chant of only three notes it is to be distinguished from the *anudātta*, it could not well have any other place; still, this change appears to await explanation.
